In our latest blog in partnership with American Society on Aging, with our own Amy Sander Herr, PMP as a contributor, we discuss the collaborative process of developing a National Plan on Aging, prioritizing input from #olderadults and caregivers of the greatest economic and social need. “Everybody gets old, we must help each other”, one participant powerfully expressed in a listening session. West Health and our partners proudly support the development for a National Plan on Aging to remove barriers to health and wellness for all Americans.

When a state implements a #multisectorplanforaging (MPA), a comprehensive data dashboard is essential to measuring progress and identifying unmet needs for an increasingly diverse population of #olderadults and people with disabilities. California’s Master Plan for Aging Data Dashboard serves as a blueprint for other states to follow, evaluating outcomes across five bold goals: • Affordable Aging • Health Reimagined • Housing for All Ages and Stages • Inclusion and Equity, Not Isolation • Caregiving that Works The dashboard tracks these key indicators over time, stratified by geographic data. Comprehensive and transparent reporting around MPA progress has the power to create positive, equitable transformation for the people who need it most. 👉Access California’s dashboard here: https://lnkd.in/eHTQgvwH 👉Learn more about why every state needs an MPA: https://lnkd.in/geP8khrW #MPAMondays #healthyaging #masterplanforaging #datadashboard
